Carson, SC – The Millersville men and women's track & field teams began their outdoor season Thursday and Friday, competing in the Shamrock Invitational at Coastal Carolina. Over the course of the first two days, the Marauders have already seen a first-place finish and two school records fall in Carson, SC.
Fresh off her sixth-place All-American finish in the 5,000-meter run at the NCAA Championships last weekend, Elicia Anderson broke the meet record and won the 10,000-meter run with a time of 35:08.91. Her time topped the best the meet has ever seen by close to two minutes. Anderson already holds the school record time with a finish of 34:17.31 last year.
Freshman Ann Kovacs topped the school record in the hammer throw in her first-ever competition in the event. Kovacs' 22nd-place distance of 45.34 meters bested the previous school record set by Heather Miller by more than two meters during last year's outdoor season. Miller's distance was 43.15 meters.
The women's 4x200-meter relay team of Mattie Conaboy, Erin Mason, Mercedes Ortiz and Chrissy Savage also knocked down a school record. Their 27th-place finish in a time of 1:47.11 was eight-hundredths of a second better than the previous Millersville record.
The 10,000-meter run fared well for both Marauder teams, as James McBride represented the men by claiming second place with a time of 31:59.04. Following McBride were Connor Veres (9th), Zach Mains (11th), Michael Parker (14th) and Brad Slaughter (16th).
Zach Kohler wrapped up the decathlon today as well. The two-day event made him the only Marauder to compete in yesterday's action. Kohler finished sixth overall with a total of 5,699 points. The senior had top-five finishes in the high jump yesterday and the 110-meter hurdles and javelin throw in today's competition.
Millersville finishes the Shamrock Invitational tomorrow in the final day of competition for the event.
